Yes, when will stupid Terry ever get about that nobody wants these stupid slaveowner jokes. Terry is thusly rebuked for being too NOT funny. Rich people are so stupid sometimes.

Which Reminds Me
Yes, I vaguely remember one day during college, a classmate Terry made a weird comment, saying that I was his heifer, which I repudiated, because anyway Terry is mostly a joker and comedian. Nothing that Terry says can be taken seriously, and also I can't have people thinking that Terry is my slave owner or even, for that matter, friend. Terry is just a constant flow of angry jokes that are really not very funny if you analyze that, but unfortunately I wasn't taking detailed notes in college so that is one of the few things that I can remember Terry.

Yes, I vaguely remember that during high school, Alfredo, who is Jewish obviously, gave an interesting oral report about the Jewish search for the race of high priests, which if they ever reinstitute the animal sacrifices of the ancient temple worship at Jerusalem, would be playing an important role there. Of course, with every phone book so packed full of Cohens, thought to be the descendants of Aaron, they will certainly have an ample supply of priests. No reason to think that they would need us for any of that.
Coincidentally, my great-grandfather Barth, my grandmother's father, was firstly a butcher by trade, a profession that was passed from father to son since medieval times, probably. I also read somewhere about the prejudices against butchers, how they were anciently denigrated with the racial slur of "Amalekites," even though there is no evidence that we were ever racially such. In fact, doesn't the Bible say that the actual Amalekites were annihilated and/or exterminated in ancient times? Thus, I really do not see how that has anything to do with us. Needless to say.

Yes, I did notice that imaginary scenario that David was trying to set up, in which I am to play the role of a Palestinian refugee, even though I am not Arab or Palestinian ethnically speaking, nor do I have any idea what those people are going through, nor do I understand why I should be discussing the Palestinian ministry for which David ultimately disqualified himself anyway, although I do remember hearing that was his original plan, so thus he has no place to be telling me something about that. So?

Yes, who can remember boring things about boring sports, maybe I did win third place in some relay races, or maybe fourth, whatever that was, but anyway I never claimed to be very interested in sports. Even so, few second graders can say that they beat a third grader to win the 1st-3rd grade Spelling Bee and take home the little trophy with my name engraved on it, but I myself can say that I did that. So? I heard that some people are still annoyed about that, but that won't change history.

Yes, we are very grateful to Wikipedia for reposting that bit about the "City of Rome," so that we can read that in the website, which spares us a lot of trouble and hassle because otherwise we would have had to travel all of the way to San Francisco to hunt down that one available copy of that one magazine, "Ships and the Sea," that is, assuming that we know what to look for.

Yes, I hear you badgering me but I cannot understand why I am being harassed by the dreary bores of Teen Challenge. What are you wanting to hear? What's the matter, don't you have ears to hear? Or did your parents forget to pay the tuition bill so you cannot just barge into the classroom of someone else's private school and figure out something about that. You could get arrested for trying to do that. I can sort of imagine that you are perhaps finding it difficult to get much useful information out of spitfire Patty, but even so, it just wasn't that important. What is your problem?
I vaguely remember the existence of Anita Stone, her picture appears in the high school yearbook, but beyond that I really have no interest in offering any further gossipy tidbits on the subject of Anita.
Interesting that you are so afraid of gossip, and yet the fact that you somehow got my name and phone number shows that you yourself have probably indulged in your fair share of gossip. Needless to say.
